Abstract excerpt
The formation of amyloid fibrils has been associated with many neurodegenerative disorders, yet the mechanism of aggregation remains elusive, partly because aggregation time scales are too long to probe with atomistic simulations. A microscopic theory of fibril elongation was recently developed that could recapitulate experimental results with respect to the effects of temperature, denaturants, and protein...
